Simply put, Zlatan wins trophies. Possibly the most individual player in the game, Ibrahimovic has deservedly garnered a reputation as a one-man title machine, playing a key role on title-winning sides from 2003-04 to 2010-11, an eight-year streak spanning five different teams in three countries. When given the reigns of a side's offense, like he was at Inter, AC Milan, and now with Paris Saint-Germain, he has the all-around ability to carry a club to a title. Even his biggest "failure," his single season at Barcelona, yielded an impressive scoring record and several pieces of silverware.
